5. I F*cking LOVE Science!

This is awesome!

There is enough wonder and mystery in the universe to occupy a trillion lifetimes, but to the New Pharisees, it is unapproachable. Why? Because it is sophomore-level physics. Over the centuries, perhaps millions of men and women have devoted their lives to peering into the wonders of the universe, to understand, to teach, to advance our knowledge of those wonders. And after all the work, all the striving, along come these self-proclaimed religious gnostics who arrogantly deny that it is of any value. I suspect that the reason they deny it is that they cannot compete with it.
